WCW301 - Linda has us painting dandelions following a tutorial from Liesl's Artistic Studio.
CC1094 - Mary has us using Crushed Curry, Garden Green and Basic Black. My Brusho background is green and yellow with a bit of brown - it came out muddy, but I wanted contrast to the puffs. I added in more green and yellow with paint pens for the flower.
F4A837 and MIX - Pam and Anna have both selected a theme of Spring Flowers. I looked it up and dandelions have flowers - I included one with the puffs which I always considered flowers too. I am sure this will be in contrast to most the colorful flowers in the gallery - but contrast can be good.

Your dandelions stand out nicely with the darker background, Nancy
I love that you added a dandelion flower. You covered multiple challenges and it fits them all. Lovely watercoloring.

Beautiful job on those dandelion clocks (do you call them that your side of the Pond, I wonder?) and it’s nice to see them alongside their earlier incarnation with the lovely bright yellow splash of the flower, lovely card Nancy!

Amazing combination of challenges! I like your puffy, white dandelions. The yellow flower is so cute and took me back to my childhood. When I saw those yellow flowers, I knew the white ones I could blow on & wish would soon follow. Terrific painting. I like how you matted it. Great card! Hugs.

They show up wonderfully against the dark background. My dad refused to put anything on our lawn to kill the dandelions, he said they were just as pretty as any flower

So beautiful Nancy! The Crushed Curry card base is perfect as it frames your lovely creation perfectly!
